Not one single time in all 9 pages of this thread has anyone said anything about an Apache.
An Apache would have went to Hong Kong & back in Typhoon conditions on one engine with water contaminated fuel before the Skaters or Laveys even would have made it out of the harbor.

conditons he could drink a beer and not spill it.
Someone posted one running with a Evo Lavey running in a lite chop and made some
comparisons! That's when the fun started. Now your post makes no sense at all! A tank would also run through a building better than my CLS 55 AMG Mercedes but I don't run through buildings that often or take my Skater to hong kong through a Tyoon.
Bill just ran 186 in a open cockpit on 93 oct running about 2700hp ,,now run half that speed with the same power in a 40 Apache and get back to us!
Don't hate the player just the game!!!

Because the owner of a 32 skater was wondering what was the max water
conditons he could drink a beer and not spill it.

An Apache "will" do the impossible when compared to anything else.
Think of all the what's better in the rough water threads & then you'll get it.

It all comes down to knowing how to run the boat.
Just because you have the money to buy a motocross bike doesn't mean you can go out and jump a 90' triple like Ricky Carmichael!

The Chris's said the guy was a cool of a dude as theyd ever met, and (why shouldnt he be he has a 32 skater with twin 1100's.)
They both told me he said he kept getting too much air when he tried to push it any harder.
Maybe we can find him, Id love to hear his take.

32 skaters like a slightly negative trim when running in 3' plus conditions. I"ve run mine 100 plus in solid 3-4' conditions and had a blast, however, not all passengers would feel the same way though!

Probably one of the best rough water races were the Worlds at Trumps Castle back in 1989 I believe. They had some nasty water and many of the boats we are referencing here, were there. Granted you had 5 to 6's at least but nobody had rough water speeds even close to what is being reported here. Apache and a couple Euro V's definetly did the best. Great tape to watch.
